It did seem that he had done everything he could to check the
provenance of the goods. More worrying is the lack of communication
from eBay itself. I feel less and less reason to buy from it now,
and as I am still waiting for the USPS to pay an insurance claim for
a missing XA4, I am loath to buy from the USA.
I don't mind selling on eBay though, if people are still using it.

Hi Guys
Got in late from work the other day and Simone told me that there'd
been an article on a "Consumer" programme on the telly about E*bay.
Apparently someone had won a bid for something (the value was over
3000 UK pounds). The seller had a very high positive rating, but in
any case he used an escrow service to pay.
Turns out the whole thing was a scam and he's lost a good deal of his money.
Have a look at this site for details.....

A bit worrying ain't it.
